halide
Science; General science
A compound containing one of the halogens (fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I)) and another element or organic group. Halides have the general formula M x X y ...
cyanide
Science; General science
A compound containing the —CN group, for example, potassium cyanide, KCN; calcium cyanide, Ca(CN) 2 ; and hydrocyanic (or prussic) acid, HCN. Chemically, the simple inorganic ...
hydroxide
Science; General science
A compound containing the hydroxide ion (OH − ) and having the general formula M(OH) n , where M represents a metal. Hydroxides are a subset of compounds containing the hydroxyl ...
cyanate
Science; General science
A compound containing the –OCN group, typically a salt or ester of cyanic acid (HOCN). The cyanate ion is ambidentate, that is, it has two reactive sites, because it can bind ...
fulminate
Science; General science
A compound containing the –ONC group and derived from fulminic acid, HONC. Fulminates are isomeric with cyanates; that is, cyanates have the same atoms but in different ...
thiocyanate
Science; General science
A compound containing the –SCN group, typically a salt or ester of thiocyanic acid (HSCN). Thiocyanates are bonded through the sulfur(s) and have the structure R–S–C≡N. They are ...
salt (chemistry)
Science; General science
A compound formed when one or more of the hydrogen atoms of an acid are replaced by one or more cations of the base. The common example is sodium chloride in which the hydrogen ...
